I'm curious about using Abzorb dusting powder regularly. Is it safe for everyday use? If not, what powder would you recommend that's safe for daily application?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Abzorb dusting powder is generally safe for everyday use, but for long-term daily usage, consider switching to a gentle, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic powder like Johnson's Baby Powder or Cetaphil Dusting Powder to minimize skin irritation risks.

I'm a bit concerned because I was prescribed the fas 3 kit for a suspected fungal infection and followed the instructions, but after feeling better on day 2, the discomfort and burning sensation came back on day 3. The doctor said to check back after a week if things didn't improve, but I'm not sure if I should wait that long. Should I go for another consultation now, or give it a week like the doctor suggested?
It's normal to experience some fluctuation in symptoms during treatment. Since youre still feeling discomfort and burning, it's a good idea to consult your doctor sooner rather than waiting a week, especially if the symptoms arent improving. They may adjust your treatment plan for better relief.

Good evening, doctor. Lately, I've been experiencing this weird sensation like something is crawling on my skin from the inside, almost like bugs or insects. It happens all day and night, but especially at night, it's so bad it wakes me up and I can't sleep because of the fear. I don't see anything on my skin from the outside, but the feeling is definitely there. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
The sensation you're describing, feeling like something is crawling on your skin from the inside, is known as formication. This can be a distressing and disruptive symptom. Possible Causes: 1. Anxiety or stress: High levels of anxiety or stress can cause formication. 2. Neurological conditions: Certain conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or peripheral neuropathy can cause formication. 3. Skin conditions: Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis can cause formication. 4. Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or magnesium can cause formication. 5. Medication side effects: Certain medications, such as antidepressants or antihistamines, can cause formication as a side effect. What to Do: 1. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a dermatologist to rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. Keep a symptom journal: Track when the sensations occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers. 3. Practice stress-reducing techniques: Engage in activities like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to help manage stress and anxiety. 4. Get enough sleep: Establish a consistent sleep schedule and create a relaxing bedtime routine to improve sleep quality. 5. Avoid stimulants: Reduce or avoid consumption of caffeine, nicotine, and other stimulants that can exacerbate anxiety and formication. Additional Tips: 1. Keep your skin moisturized: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable. 2. Avoid scratching: Try to resist the urge to scratch, as this can further irritate your skin and worsen the sensation. 3. Consider cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): A therapist can help you address underlying anxiety or stress contributing to your formication.
